ston indicate similar inadequate prison
conditions throughout the United States.
Are the American people turning to
crime in greater numbers? .
"Is the situation in any way related
to the wart

greater population?"

TAX INVESTIGATORS
STATE FOR TALKS WITH OFFICIALS
The tax. investigating commission will
Keep Its eye on the ball and not wander
off Into the broad field of Investigating
the expenditures and finances of state1
institutions and departments, according
to the decision arrived at today.'
And, in furtherance of its program of
exhaustive study of state conditions, re
sources and tax burdens the Investigat
ing body will visit all sections of the
state, meet with the county courts, as
sessors, legislators and taxpayers gen
erally in order to learn at first hand the
pertinent facta and figures necessary to
give tne members of the commission the
breadth of view and information upon
which to found a sane and scientific rec
ommendation for a remodeled system of
taxation to the governor and the coming
session of the legislature.
1IISIRART IS PLAN Jf ED
On Monday, March 13, the commission
will hold the first of Its meetings at
Baker. It will be at La Grande on
March 14, at Pendleton March 15, at
The Dalles March 16, and at Astoria
March 17, providing that the train
schedules will permit, if not the Astoria
meeting will be held on March 18.
The commission will then return to
Portland for a meeting here, and within
a short time thereafter will visit tKe
principal Willamette valley and South
ern Oregon points. It is the intention
and 'desire of the commission to meet at
each stopping place. with the public of
ficials and taxpayers of that district,
to discuss taxation and legislation which
will relieve the existing abnormal
proposition of taxation borne by the
property owners of the state.
The commission at Its meetitng this
morning discussed the suggestion made
All
mi a
Mr- I S I
'HIS MASTEKS
t
PLAH TOUR OF
by some of its members that : a close
examination be made of the costs of
operating the higher educational Insti
tutions of the stale.' It took the view
that such a program would in fairness
have to : include - all state institutions
and departments a task so monumental
that it could not be completed within
the time at the disposal ot the commis
sioners. . - p
. The final decision of the commission
to abandon such a plan, as expressed
by Chairman L N. Day. ' was based on
the theory that the body should .con
fine its work to the . investigation of
sources of taxation, existing unequal
tax burdens and the best method of so
reorganising the tax code of the state
as would spread the load of the cost of
state government equitably upon . the
shoulders of all those who enjoy the
protection and benefit of that govern
ment
QUESTION OF TUITIOIT
In arriving at this decision, however.
It reserved for future and further con
sideration and possible recommendation,
the question of establishing tuition
charges at the University of Oregon and
Agricultural college.
Figures compiled and presented to the
commission today show that the total
valuation of real property in the state
Is J807.034.3S1.JS. while the total valua
tion of personal property' is given
$150,769,835.74. making a grand total of
both real and personal property of
$1,020,804,197.10. - .
Of these two classifications real prop-
: erty bears 85.2 per cent of the tax load.
while . personal property bears 14.8 per
cent.
